   UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia, in an unprecedented 1 moved, formally rejected on Tuesday its two-year term on the UN Security Council, clearing the way for Jordan to take the seat as a replacement 2.


  The Middle East power had previously 3 decried 4 the 15-member council's ineffectiveness in dealing 5 with world affairs, notably 6 the Syrian crisis and Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
  In a letter Tuesday from Saudi Arabian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, Ambassador Abdallah al-Mouallimi officially served notice on the world organization.
  The move came after the Saudi Foreign Ministry 7 issued a statement on Oct. 18 declining the position, one day after the 193- member UN General Assembly elected the country for a two-year council term starting from Jan. 1.
  "The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has decided 8 to advise you that Saudi Arabia will regrettably not be in a position to assume its seat in the Security Council to which it was elected on Oct. 17, 2013 for the period of 2014-2015," the letter read.
  Observers believed the decision to not only boycott 9 the council but to reject the election was directed at the United States, its longtime ally, for the latter's inability to negotiate a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for Washington not intervening in the Syrian civil war which has claimed well over 100,000 lives in more than 30-month fighting.
  Jordan, which shares a border with Israel, has a vital interest in ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It also shares a border with Syria and has become a major destination for refugees fleeing the civil war.
  The United States is one of the five permanent, veto-wielding, members of the council along with Britain, China, France and Russia. The panel of 15 has five members elected to 2-year terms every year.
